THE BRAZIL NO ONE TALKS ABOUT! (Brasilia)

BRASILIA, BRAZIL. What's the capital of Brazil? No, it's not Rio de Janeiro. And no, it's not Sao Paulo either. It's Brasilia — chances are, you haven't heard of it. Built in 1960, Brasilia is a fully planned city, designed and constructed within three years. It's far from the most beautiful city in the world, but if you know where to look, you can find hidden gems

Where we went:
• Three Powers Plaza
• Cathedral of Brasilia
• Boteco Piauí
• Buteco do Encontro
• Feira Vicente Pires
• Lago Paranoa
• Gringos Churrasco, Riacho Fundo II

I'm from Brasília. I've seen many videos produced by foreigners about Brasilia. And none represented the city in such a real way. congratulations.

In 1963 I was drafted into the Brazilian army and sent to Brasilia, to be in the Battalion of the Presidential Guards.
After leaving the army, one year later, I decided to stay in Brasilia for a while, taking a job at a travel agency. While there I learned a few things:
The shape of Brasilia as an airplane has more meanings. Like an airplane, the president's office seats on the left, as an airplane captain's place. On the right the co-pilot, the Supreme Court and, in the middle, the National Congress, as the navigator, while the ministers, the flight engineers, are located along the huge avenue behind the Congress. Airplanes carry their fuel in the wings, which is where the fuel of the nation sits, the people and commerce.
The National Cathedral has the same number of columns at the number of states at the time, all joining at the top, as hands in prayer.
Niemeyer, in charge of the most building architecture, was a believer in communism and, in its early days, Brasilia was quite that way. I lived in a very nice apartment having for neighbors a senator, next to me, and a congressman one floor up. The difference was that they paid no rent.
Brasilia is very dry but at times, like I remember, thunderstorms were epic. I remember one during which I had to stop the car because the wipers couldn't keep up with the rain. As it stopped in a few minutes, I drove about 100 yards, the ground was dry, and the sun was shining as if rain had never fallen.
I like Brasilia.

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, lived there and in São Paulo for many years. I now live in Brasilia for over 20 years and have no doubt to say that Brasilia is a wonderfull city to live and rise kids. Here I fell safe and at ease. I do not change Brasilia for any other place in Brazil. Thanks for your video, I hope more and more people see my city with your eyes!

This is the best video made by a foreigner about Brasilia. You really captured the essence of the city. Congrats 👏🏾

I'm from Brasília and I've lived here since I was born (35 years ago). I have never seen a video so precise and so deep about the city. I'm impressed.

[willianradel]

Moro aqui a vida inteira e gostei de assistir o vídeo... Não esperava assistir até o fim já que o meu dia-a-dia é aqui hahaha
Gostei que vocês mostraram um olhar carinhoso com a cidade. Parabéns pelo trabalho!

Mano, esse vídeo foi muito bem feito. Parece que eu tô vendo um programa de TV renomada

[leal]

As someone from Brasilia living abroad, it’s amazing watching your video. Seeing so much of the everyday life in my beloved hometown brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for this 🫶

I live in Brasília, and I'm glad you liked my city and got to know the city for real, not just the tourist sites. Brasília is an incredible city because it is made up of people from all corners of Brazil. Congratulations on the video. 💚

I love Brasília. I am from Rio de Janeiro and lived in Brasília for a couple of years while getting my Master's degree at the University of Brasília. It is a wonderful place to visit, especially in the rainy season when the Dry Garden at the Central Institute of Sciences is in full bloom. To truly experience Brasília, you should stay in the residential area to feel the city's atmosphere and understand Lúcio Costa's vision.

The residential areas, known as 'superquadras, ' are large blocks designed to promote a sense of community and provide ample green space. They reflect modernist principles, focusing on functionality, simplicity, and integration with nature. Despite the car-centric design of the 1960s, many amenities are within walking distance of any superquadra. Brasília is the unique 20th-century city awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for its innovative urban planning.

I was in Brasilia for two weeks in January in order to get my US visa approved (I'm from Venezuela). I have good memories from there and I hope to come back as I have friends and the barbecue as you showed is delicious!!

[dunno]

It's great to see the perspective of foreigners on my beloved Brazil. At first glance, I thought the presenter was Brazilian. Thank you very much for this video and warm regards from Rio de Janeiro.

[airtonoda]

DOPE! Born and raised in Brasilia, this video is fantastic. Congrats!

[LuisKolodin]

great video! Brasilia is indeed unknown, even for Brazilians.

btw... it was probably non-intended, but it came out really strange to listen to MAMBO (latin non Brazilian musical genre) in the middle of the video. hehe

I live in Sergipe, the smaller state up here in Brazil, but I’ve been in there for four times. It’s an amazing place, where I can find different people from all over the country and there you feel really at home.

Brasília é uma das cidades mais lindas do Brasil e do mundo, não tem como não se impressionar com tanta beleza e modernidade.

O período da seca realmente afeta o visual mas Brasília e linda!
